Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Wildlife, Social group, African elephant and Habitat. As part of his studies on Ecology, George Wittemyer often connects relevant areas like Movement. The various areas that he examines in his Wildlife study include Noise, Range, Endangered species and Land use.

George Wittemyer studied Range and African forest elephant that intersect with Poaching. George Wittemyer works mostly in the field of Social group, limiting it down to topics relating to Dominance hierarchy and, in certain cases, Social ecological model, Dominance, Social relation and Conservation behavior, as a part of the same area of interest. His Habitat research includes elements of Noise pollution, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Grazing and Environmental resource management.

His most cited work include:

  • Accelerated Human Population Growth at Protected Area Edges (478 citations)
  • The socioecology of elephants: analysis of the processes creating multitiered social structures (407 citations)
  • The socioecology of elephants: analysis of the processes creating multitiered social structures (407 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Wildlife, Poaching, African elephant and Range. George Wittemyer incorporates Ecology and Context in his research. His study focuses on the intersection of Wildlife and fields such as Environmental resource management with connections in the field of Natural and Wildlife conservation.

His Poaching research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Population density, Keystone species, Demographic history and Musth. His African elephant research also works with subjects such as

  • Home range together with Philopatry,
  • Social group together with Dominance hierarchy. His work in Range tackles topics such as Physical geography which are related to areas like Vegetation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (93.99%)
  • Wildlife (27.87%)
  • Poaching (31.69%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Ecology (93.99%)
  • Wildlife (27.87%)
  • African elephant (31.15%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Ecology, Wildlife, African elephant, Context and Poaching are his primary areas of study. His Ecology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Data science. The concepts of his Wildlife study are interwoven with issues in Habitat, Disturbance, Cumulative effects and Environmental resource management.

His Habitat study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Movement, Network theory and Set. His research integrates issues of Productivity, Seasonality, Threatened species, Terrestrial ecosystem and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index in his study of African elephant. His Poaching research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Reproduction, Keystone species and Musth.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Behavioural valuation of landscapes using movement data (12 citations)
  • Leveraging multidimensional heterogeneity in resource selection to define movement tactics of animals (10 citations)
  • Leveraging multidimensional heterogeneity in resource selection to define movement tactics of animals (10 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Ecosystem

Ecology, Context, δ13C, δ18O and Tusk are his primary areas of study. His Ecology study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Data science. Among his Context studies, you can observe a synthesis of other disciplines of science such as Animal ecology, Emotionality, Cynomys ludovicianus, Alarm signal and Social competence.

His Animal ecology research includes a combination of various areas of study, such as Behavioural sciences, Social environment, Social complexity, Thanatology and Field. His δ13C research encompasses a variety of disciplines, including Enamel mineralization, Mineralogy, Enamel paint, Molar and African elephant. His δ18O studies intersect with other disciplines such as Seasonality, Terrestrial ecosystem and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index.
